Trailing closely behind the winner were Faith Maria of Ghana as first runner-up and Nguyen of Vietnam as second runner-up.
Despite falling just short of the ultimate title, Gazini achieved the third-highest average score from the official selection panel, cementing her status as an undeniable powerhouse and a major crowd favorite throughout the preliminary and final stages of the event.
According to a report by the Inquirer, Gazini felt an overwhelming sense of appreciation for the opportunity to stage an international comeback seven years after her notable Top 20 finish at the Miss Universe 2019 pageant.
Turning to social media to express her deepest thoughts, she shared breathtaking photos from the grand opening night, admitting that the entire process was filled with immense speed and intense pressure.
“Everything was somehow a blur,” Gazini stated as she looked back on the frantic preparations behind the curtain. “The rehearsals, the lights, the laughter, the friendships, the moments on stage—it all passed by so quickly. Yet amidst the whirlwind, what remains clear is the overwhelming gratitude I feel.”
Beyond the glamorous outfits and precise stage walks, Gazini carried a heavy emotional weight that resonated deeply during the final question-and-answer segment.
When asked about practical steps to combat online harassment, the Cebuana queen bravely shared her ongoing personal struggles regarding her heritage and the current safety of her loved ones in the Middle East.
“I was once a victim of cyberbullying. It was not easy to go through something that you didn't ask for. As a Filipina-Palestinian, I have raised my voice and I have conquered my fears because I faced the struggles that I have been facing,” Gazini shared on stage. “My family is still stuck in Gaza. And now that I'm fighting for their lives, I just want to do my best, be their representation, and raise their flags, just like who I am today as a Filipina-Palestinian.”
This deep motivation allowed Gazini to showcase unmatched poise, turning her runway appearances into a meaningful platform for representation.
Her performance was further highlighted by an elegant evening gown designed by Rian Fernandez, which seamlessly incorporated cultural patterns of a traditional Middle Eastern scarf with intricate local Filipino metalcraft techniques.
“This journey challenged me, humbled me, and reminded me why I started in the first place,” Gazini concluded in her heartfelt post. “I am proud of the woman who showed up every day, gave her all, and embraced every moment with courage and grace.”
As the first edition comes to a close, organizers have announced that applications for the next cycle will open immediately on June 6, with the next grand finals anticipated later this year in December.
Vanessa is scheduled to return to defend her title under an ambitious format that offers a massive cash prize for consecutive victories, ensuring that the stakes remain high for future global delegates.
Born in Dapitan City, Zamboanga del Norte, beauty titleholder Gazini Ganados possesses a multicultural background, being raised by her Filipino mother while of Palestinian descent. She later relocated with her household to Talisay City, Cebu, during her late childhood years to complete her primary education, eventually representing the province on the global entertainment stage.
Recently, the Cebuana representative concluded her run at the global invitational event inside the elite tier, outlasting all other national delegates. In the final speaking phase, she addressed internet harassment by drawing directly from her lived history as a multi-ethnic individual. She highlighted the ongoing hardships of her overseas relatives, utilizing her global media presence to advocate for their safety. Her final response sparked widespread online dialogue, adding a prominent new accolade following her initial performance on the universe stage.
In 2019, Gazini was officially chosen to carry the national flag at the conclusion of the country's premier beauty festival. The victory went to the twenty-three-year-old titleholder representing the prominent island province of Cebu. During the event, Gazini passionately shared her personal platform, which emphasizes specialized care and support for senior citizens. Her dedicated focus on geriatric welfare stood out to the selection committee, defining the start of her reign as the national titleholder.
